Fear Nothing: A Novel (Christopher Snow) Mass Market Paperback – July 31, 2012

I don't think anyone anyone who loves suspense would find this book less than riveting. Koontz is a master storyteller. I find his books to be more suspense than horror and, although there is a certain level of horror, it is more in the sense of unscrupulous people and the lengths they go to in order to achieve their goals. However, there is an uplifting aspect - the good and love within humanity overcomes the evil. Additionally, Koontz uses romance/love to provide hope for the future.This book is on/above par with the rest of his books. Please read it.

Enjoyable and entertaining

This was a scary story. Clues were slowly revealed. I loved the dog and liked the main characters, who were all unique. The dog was my favorite. I feel satisfied with the conclusion. I enjoyed this fictional premise.

I haven't read a while lot of Dean Koontz, to be perfectly honest. The only other books of his I've read have been "From the Corner of His Eye" and "By the Light of the Moon." I enjoyed both of them and I enjoyed this one too, perhaps even more, but I did have problems with it.This time out our hero is young Christopher Snow, a man with a rare disorder that makes his skin extraordinarily sensitive to light. As such, he has lived his life indoors and at night, and on the night his father dies, he begins to learn that the little town of Moonlight Bay may carry many more dangers than he ever anticipated.In essense, this is a science fiction/horror tale and it's a pretty good one. Realistic monsters, both human and beast. A likeable hero and a good supporting cast. A character with guts, getting through a lot.But there are some things I didn't like too. The prose is really, REALLY purple in this book. Okay so Chris, our first-person narrator, is a best-selling author. That doesn't mean every line in the book should read like it's dripping out of a college English textbook. Second, Koontz returns to his Superdog character that seems to pop in to several of his books. This time out, Orson proves to be my favorite of Koontz's Superdogs, but it's still overdone. And finally -- this is a book that has a sequel. That's all well and good -- it was published six years ago and I knew it had a sequel before I started reading it. The problem is that I could smell that sequel coming. I mean REALLY strongly. As I reached the final segment of the book I found myself thinking, "There's only 40 pages left. There's no way he can wrap all this up in 40 pages." I was right. Koontz leaves an awful lot dangling. That's usually okay, I don't mind sequels, I just don't like seeing them coming a mile away.I'm not saying this to put anybody off reading the book, I did enjoy it and fully intend to read the sequel in the near future -- I'm just giving an honest opinion on what I feel are the weak points of an overall good read. Do with it what you will.

A story that may be closer than we think. A true cautionary tale. I thoroughly enjoyed this frightening tale of possibility

The media could not be loaded.  I was told this product was brandnew, but upon arrival it appears to be used. I chose the brandnew option and paid more for brandnew. I should’ve just chose the used option and saved myself $6. Unfortunate, and false advertising here. Video attached.

In the amazing catalog of Dean Koontz, this book is a hidden gem. If you've read any of the Odd Thomas series you'll love this. Chris Snow seems like the prototype for what Odd Thomas eventually became - both are seemingly regular young guys except for one distinctive thing that makes them special. Both live in small towns and have a small group of friends who truly understand them. Both are drawn into situations beyond their control and do what they have to do to protect themselves and their loved ones.Thoroughly interesting story and terrific characters make this a heck of a book. Special mention goes to Orson, who steals every scene he's in and is the star of the book in my opinion. I've yet to find an author who can make a dog such an integral part of stories like Dean Koontz can.

Dean Koontz know animals, especially dogs. His description of Orson and the cat playing to stereotypes was awesome. The book had a slow buildup beginning with the death of a loved one and ending with the deaths of enemies. Can you imagine people you’ve known all your life changing and not for the better. That is the real horror in this story that everyone becomes a Jekyll and Hyde.

I first read this one years ago, long before the Days of Kindle, but was extremely happy to find it in digital format and for a reasonable price. There is nothing like picking up a story that you remember fondly and re-reading it many years later. I'm happy to say that I found it just as enjoyable now as I did Oh so long ago.Watchers is one of my top five favourite books and has been for decades. This one is a (very) loosely based sequel in that the premise is continued here and expanded upon. The "Francis Project" that was the focus of Watchers even receives a few sentences of honourable mention.Of course nobody really paid attention to the lessons learned from that project but if they had this would be a considerably less exciting book.The writing is crisp and a little witty, much like all of Koontz's books - he can definitely turn a phrase in just the right way to strike you. There are also some flashback scenes in the first third or so of the book which I don't usually like but in this case felt like it added to character development. The science and techniques have held up decently well, too.I recommend that you give this one and all the other books by this author a try.

I originally bought this book many, years ago, but recently added the Kindle version to listen in my car on my daily commutes. I had forgotten just how weak and frustrating this storyline is. Koontz obviously fancied himself as a bit of a comedian back then with his "funny" one liners, but they are just annoying. The book is told in the first person by the protagonist Christopher Snow but continuously goes off track and rambles on about innocuous and pointless non events. He also continuously repeats himself about Snow's medical condition - to the point I feel I could cure the guy. The actual story itself without all the pointless and annoying ramblings would likely fit into 150 pages max. The fact he stretches it out to over 500 is testament to the amount of waffle filling that you (as I did) will find yourself skipping to get back on track and try to keep to the actual tale. There is waaaaaaay (intended) too much surfer lingo too. I have many Koontz books so I am prepared to acknowledge most of them are OK. This series though is best left on the shelf

I bought this for my son who started to read a copy in a hotel reception while on holiday but had to leave it there. I struggled to find it in any book shops as i think it was published a few years ago.The book came quickly and he has enjoyed finishing it.P.s He is a 24 year old man who has never actually read a novel before in his life!I'm pleased he has discovered reading :-)

chris, Sasha, Bobby and Orson desperately struggling to save their town, or maybe even the world. Dean koontz's way with words, leaves me breathless every time

Loved it could not wait to start the next book now both are read i am gutted there's no more to read in this series . I read moonlight which seems light it's a prequel to this series which was also a great book
